I am a researcher, writer, and cultural organiser based in Paris and Marseille. My current work focuses on the ways how climate adaptation strategies are transforming the cultures and politics of the urban public sphere, engaging critical humanities, creative research methods, and artistic works to address sonic, choreographic, and narrative dimensions of change. I draw on a training in music and urban studies, as well as a decade of work connecting arts and urbanism with Theatrum Mundi, to explore the complex dynamics that shape public life in cities through a series of cross-cutting threads including ecology, infrastructure, sound, movement, culture, and voice.

 

I work with universities, cultural organisations, and private practices to lead learning programmes, international knowledge exchange, and collaborative, cross-disciplinary research around these approaches. See my LinkedIn or Instagram for more, or email me to contact me about working together.

Hearing Queer Infrastructure

This audio essay was created in response to an invitation to contribute to the seminar A children’s story, a horror story, a synesthetic story accompanying the exhibition Twelve Cautionary Urban Tales at Matadero Madrid.

 

It explores the ways that sound, and particularly techno, create infrastructures for queer life, allowing us to be together in unspoken ways that are focused on the body and on sexuality rather than on verbal communication. The soundscape was recorded on a night out at Adonis, a club night in London, with a spoken essay layered over it.
